Day 4 : Nestle Rice Cereal

My mother in law came to stay for a night yesterday and this morning managed to catch Evan in action on her weaning process. She was amused at how excited Evangeline was when she saw the green Pigeon bowl and red spoon. Evangeline knew immediately that food was ready and waved her arms frantically to show her impatience of waiting.

Today, I increased the amount of cereal to the following and she finished everything. Still asking for more and showed displeasure when we show her the empty bowl.

Braun Handheld Blender and JANE highchair

This morning, Auntie C and I have an appointment together at Robinson to get some good deals from the sale. After days of considering between Philip Handheld Blender 700watt model versus Braun Handheld Blender, I have decided to get the Braun model due to it's lasting, hardy and durable parts. Since I have some robinson vouchers,I treated it as an investment in purchasing this slightly more expensive brand. Auntie C bought a Fisherprice toy for Evan and we further our time of fellowship at my place till 10plus at night.

Another great deal I got for Evangeline was a secondhand JANE brand highchair which can be converted to a table and chair when Evan reaches toddler stage. The retail price at Robinson was about $275, but I only got this secondhand highchair from a mummy at a price of $100. It is in super good condition, almost brand new, no stain or faulty parts. I was very pleased to get such a good deal and I credited this to our GOD who knew that I longed to have a JANE highchair but financially not able to have one due to its price. Thank you God for making my purchases come true!!!

I am excited and can't wait to use my newly purchased blender! Monday will be the first day for her fruit puree, hope Evangeline will enjoy her fruit.

Day 3: Nestle Rice Cereal

Today, she did not really finished her cereal as she was cranky and sleepy. I was suspecting that she might not be well as she doesn't seem to be happy the whole morning which is not her usual self. The night before, she woke up in the middle of the night to play and do her stunts from one side of her cot to the other, making us super busy trying to get her back to sleep. That could explain why this morning, she was super tired and exhausted.

Evangeline's attempt in cereal

First try in flipping

In this video, Evan was trying to flip over in the morning. This was taken when she was about 3 months old. After helping her to flip, 3 hours later, she flipped over all by herself..she is really a fast learner in many things.

Day 2: Nestle Rice Cereal

As said yesterday, I made some changes in my routine and her feeding. Evan took her milk feed of about 100ml, followed by her solid and then finished up her remaining milk feed of 50ml.

12 May 2009 - 1 teaspoon X Rice Cereal X 10ml of FM

Age: 5 Months, 3 weeks and 2 days old

Allergic Reaction: None

This time round, the consistency seems thicker but some lumps remained hard to dissolve. Evan's reaction towards the cereal today was more of anticipating and eager to gobble all up. She opened her arms wide and you should have seen her facial expressions, as though she can't wait to get her hands on the bowl! So far for the past two days, she did not make a mess, she has been such an angel, feeding well from the spoon and not dirtying her bibs at all. Today, she responded well by not having the tongue thrust reflex at all. She finished all up with a record of 7 minutes. I am so proud of her. By Day 4, I will increase to another teaspoon and next week on her 6 month birthday, homemade fruits and vegetable puree will be introduced. Oh I can't wait to try!
